Lakers sign former Gonzaga forward Harris

The Lakers reached a two-year agreement with forward Elias Harris on Friday.

The German-born Harris played at Gonzaga for four years before returning to Germany, where he played on the national team in the Eurobasket tournament in 2009. The youngest player on the team, Harris averaged 12 minutes in six games.

At Gonzaga, the 6-foot-8 Harris made an immediate impact, scoring a team-high 17 points and posting nine rebounds in his second game as a freshman.

He averaged between 12.4 and 14.9 points per game and shot better than 50 percent from the field all four seasons at Gonzaga.

Once draftee Ryan Kelly signs, the Lakers will have 12 players. They expect to enter the season with 14.
